To demonstrate equilibrium i.e. balance of forces, put
the puck "here" and "there" and observe that it remains
at rest. Then give it a push and observe uniform motion.
The vertical forces are balanced. The horizontal forces
are nearly zero.
Just out of interest, how do you justify the claim that the forces are balanced, without chasing your tail?
